Yilan

So today was quite an eventful day, I woke up around 7:30, and was starting to pack cause we were heading toward Yilan with my aunt and grandma. We set off around 9:30, where we got some breakfast to go, and was on our way to Yilan. My cousin who came to visit us last night with my uncle, warned us about traffic especially on Sunday and that it could have held us back. A normally 40 min drive could easily turn into more than 2 hrs. So when we got there, a feeling of nostalgia overcame me since I came here last year. I was on a mission to buy a bead bracelet for myself and my friends since I lost mines last year. Well we first sat in on a show they currently had on when we arrived. The first was an impressive puppet show and the second was a story play. Too bad my bro and I couldn't understand Taiwanese, so I left with my bro and dad to go shopping. All the stores were quite unique and I always have a good time shopping there. I bought A LOT. Outside of my beads, I bought a room decoration, a carbon copy of a deity, stuff for my friends and yeah, I am basically broke right now haha, though I do plan on spending the rest of my money before my stay in Taiwan is over. So after shopping and eating lunch while getting starbucks, I decided to walk around the parts I didn't get to when I went last year. Basically went to a 1887 style house and toured around it, and walked around to the residential area and fed fishes. I then went to visit the exhibition center where they had some exquisite artifacts. So then we basically left, we headed to the hotel we were staying which is called the Grand Boss Hotel, and I have to say this is a REALLY nice hotel, we then headed out to the night market where I went window shopping LOL, then we ate a a food stand in the night market. O yeah, we got face mask cause the airplane smell makes me really nauseous, then we went to a place where they specialize in taro stuff, and they were surprisingly REALLY GOOD. We then headed back to the night market cause my aunt wanted to get something, but me, my bro and I went back first to check out their recreation area which was in the basement. My bro and I played a round of foosball, where I killed him 9-1. Then we played pool where I first beat my bro (he scratched the 8 ball), beat my dad(scratched the 8 ball), my bro beat me ( i scratched the 8 ball), and finally I beat my bro legitimately. Haha, well I'm at the hotel room right now, I'm about to take a bubble bath lol, and yea, tomorrow we're taking a tour bus to the top of a mountain where the scenery is suppose to be EPIC, so I'm looking forward to that :)
